PRAYERS.

The Honourable the Speaker informed the Senate that he had received a

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR GENERAL S SECRETARY, CANADA

OTTAWA, 10th January, 1938.

SIR, I have the honour to inform you that His Excellency the Governor
General will proceed to the Senate Chamber to open the Session of the Dominion
Parliament on Thursday, the 27th January, at 3 p.m.

I have the Honour to be,

Sir,
Your obedient servant,

A. S. REDFERN,
Secretary to the Governor General.
The Honourable Walter E. Foster,

Ordered, That the same do lie on the Table.

The Honourable the Speaker informed the Senate that the Clerk had

showing that

Norman Platt Lambert, Esquire, and
Duncan McLean Marshall, Esquire,

respectively, have been summoned to the Senate.

The Honourable the Speaker informed the Senate that there was a Senator

(L.S.)

GEORGE THE SIXTH, by the Grace of God of Great Britain, Ireland, and the

To our Trusty and Well-beloved Norman Platt Lambert, of the City of
Ottawa, in the Province of Ontario, in Our Dominion of Canada, Esquire,

GREETING :

Know you, that as well for the especial trust and confidence We have
manifested in you, as for the purpose of obtaining your advice and assistance
in all weighty and arduous affairs which may the State and Defence of Our
Dominion of Canada concern, We have thought fit to summon you to the Senate
of Our said Dominion; and We do command you, that all difficulties and excuses
whatsoever laying aside, you be and appear for the purposes aforesaid, in the

A.D. 1938 27TH JANUARY

Senate of Our said Dominion, at all times whensoever and wheresoever Our
Parliament may be in Our said Dominion convoked and holden; and this you are
in no wise to omit.

IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, We have caused these Our Letters to be made
Patent and the Great Seal of Canada to be hereunto affixed.

Witness: Our Right Trusty and Well-beloved John, Baron Tweedsmuir of
Elsfield, a Member of Our Most Honourable Privy Council, Knight Grand Cross

Chief of Our Dominion of Canada.

At Our Government House, in Our City of Ottawa, in Our Dominion of
Canada, this twentieth day of January, in the year of Our Lord one
thousand nine hundred and thirty-eight and in the second year of Our
Reign.

By Command,

FERNAND RINFRET,

Secretary of State of Canada.

Ordered, That the same be placed upon the Journals.

The Honourable Senator Lambert came to the Table and took and sub
scribed the Oath prescribed by law, which was administered by the Clerk of
the Senate, the Commissioner appointed for that purpose, and took his seat
as a Member of the Senate.

The Honourable the Speaker informed the Senate that the Honourable
Senator Lambert had made and subscribed the Declaration of Qualification
required of him by The British North America Act, 1867, in the presence of the
Clerk of the Senate, the Commisisoner appointed to receive and witness the same.

The Senate adjourned during pleasure.

After a while, His Excellency the Governor General having come, and being
seated on the Throne,

The Honourable the Speaker commanded the Gentleman Usher of the Black
Rod to proceed to the House of Commons and acquaint that House that,

It is His Excellency the Governor General s pleasure that they attend him
immediately in the Senate Chamber.

The House of Commons being come,

His Excellency the Governor General was then pleased to open the third
Session of the eighteenth Parliament by a Gracious Speech to both Houses, as
follows:

Honourable Members of the Senate:

Members of the House of Commons:

It affords me much pleasure to greet you upon the resumption of your
Parliamentary duties.

The interval which has elapsed since the last Session witnessed the Corona
tion, in the month of May, of Their Majesties King George the Sixth and Queen

5196014

4 THE SENATE 2 GEORGE VI

Elizabeth. The event was one of special significance to the nations of the
British Commonwealth. In the Coronation service and ceremonial, recognition
was given to the relationship between the Sovereign and his peoples in the
several Dominions, as embodied in the Statute of Westminster.

Members of the Government participated in the deliberations of the Imperial
Conference which followed immediately after the Coronation. The Summary of
Proceedings of the Conference will be placed -before you at an early date for
your consideration. It is the belief of the Government that the opportunities
afforded for the exchange of views and information on questions of common
interest and concern, will serve to further the well-being of all parts of the
Commonwealth.

It is gratifying to note that, during the past year, there has been a further
substantial advance in Canada s economic recovery. Revenues have reached
new levels. Trade with other countries has materially expanded. There has
been a general increase in employment and marked decrease in the numbers
receiving unemployment aid.

The recurrence, in a more acute form, of drought conditions in certain areas
of Western Canada has unfortunately made it necessary to provide assistance
on an unprecedented scale. The Government intends to continue its activities
under the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Act.

In view of the success which has attended efforts to assist in the training of
unemployed young people, it is proposed to extend the scheme during the coming
year.

The Department of Agriculture has been reorganized and its services
consolidated along lines designed to improve the Standard and acceptability of
Canadian farm products.

Arrangements are being completed for the inauguration of a national trans-
Canada air service.

The National Employment Commission, the Royal Commission appointed
to inquire into conditions in the Textile Industry, and the Commission appointed
under the provisions of the Veterans Assistance Commission Act, 1936, have
concluded their duties. The reports of these Commissions will be tabled in
due course.

The strains and stresses, which economic and social developments since
Confederation have placed upon Canada s governmental structure, have dis
closed the necessity for adjustments which will enable it the more effectively
to serve provincial and national needs, and to promote and preserve Canadian
unity. My Ministers are of the opinion that, with exact and adequate informa
tion, it should be possible for the appropriate authorities to work out satisfactory
solutions. As a first step towards this end, a Royal Commission of Inquiry has
been appointed to re-examine the economic and financial basis of Confederation
and the distribution of legislative powers in the light of the new conditions
which have arisen in the past seventy years. The Commission has already held
sittings in many parts of the Dominion.

The co-operation of the Provinces has been sought with a view to an
amendment of the British North America Act, which would empower the Par
liament of Canada to enact forthwith a national scheme of unemployment
insurance. My Ministers hope the proposal may meet with early approval in
order that unemployment insurance legislation may be enacted during the
present session of Parliament.

Members of the House of Commons will be invited to consider the report of
the Special Committee on Elections and Franchise Acts, and you will be asked
to enact such legislation as may be necessary to implement such of the Com
mittee s recommendations as meet with their approval.

A measure will be submitted to extend the authority of the Board of
Railway Commissioners.

A.D. 1938 27TH JANUARY

Legislation will be introduced with a view to furthering the principle of
Parliamentary control of the export of electrical power.

The international situation generally continues to give much ground for
anxiety. My Ministers have endeavoured, as opportunity has afforded, to
promote international understanding and good-will. They have sought to join
the efforts of Canada to those of other countries which are seeking by co-operation
and conciliation to effect a settlement of questions and issues which concern
the world s peace.

The Administration has followed with deep interest the course of the
negotiations being conducted with a view to the conclusion of a trade agreement
between the United Kingdom and the United States of America. My Ministers
are fully alive to the importance of these negotiations, and to Canada s interest
in their outcome.

In August last, the Canadian Government approached the Government
of the United States with a view to extending and revising the trade agreement
concluded between them in 1935. Exploratory conversations followed which
have resulted in efforts to effect a new agreement on a broad and comprehensive
basis. It is hoped that negotiations may so progress as to render it possible
to submit the new agreement to Parliament, for its consideration, during the
present Session.

With a number of other countries, adjustments have been made, during the
past year, in our commercial relations in order to facilitate a wider exchange of
commodities.

The Government is convinced that, in seeking to co-operate with the United
Kingdom and other countries in efforts to promote international trade, it is
pursuing one of the most effective means of ensuring economic security and
progress in Canada, and the betterment of conditions in other parts of the world.

Members of the House of Commons:

The Public Accounts of the last fiscal year and the Estimates for the
coming year will be submitted for your consideration.

Honourable Members of the Senate:

Members of the House of Commons:

In inviting your careful consideration of the important matters which will
engage your attention, I pray that Divine Providence may guide and bless your
deliberations.

The Commons withdrew.

His Excellency the Governor General was pleased to retire.

The Senate was resumed.

The Honourable Senator Dandurand presented to the Senate a Bill in
tituled : "An Act relating to Railways."
The said Bill was read the first time.

The Honourable the Speaker informed the Senate that a copy of the Speech
of His Excellency the Governor General had been left in his hands.
The same was read by The Honourable the Speaker.

On motion, it was

Ordered, That the Speech of His Excellency the Governor General be taken
into consideration on Wednesday, next.

THE SENATE 2 GEORGE VI

The Honourable the Speaker read to the Senate a Message from His Majesty
the King acknowledging the Address of the Canadian Parliament on the occasion
of His Majesty s Accession to the Throne, as follows:

BUCKINGHAM PALACE.
Members of the Senate and of the House of Commons of Canada.

I thank you most sincerely for the assurances of loyalty and support con
tained in the Address which you have presented to me upon the occasion of my
Accession to the Throne. It is the dearest wish of The Queen and myself that
our Reign may be marked, under Divine Providence, by the blessings of peace
and by a steady advancement in the welfare and prosperity of all our Peoples;
and in our labours to this end we shall be strengthened and encouraged by the
prayers and goodwill of the Canadian Parliament and People.

GEORGE R.I.
12th April, 1937.

The Honourable the Speaker read to the Senate a Message from His Majesty
the King acknowledging the Address of the Canadian Parliament on the occasion
of Their Majesties Coronation, as follows:

BUCKINGHAM PALACE.

Members of the Senate and of the House of Commons of Canada:

It is with feelings of deep gratitude that I acknowledge the message of
loyalty and congratulation conveyed in your Address of the 10th April which
was presented to me by my Prime Minister of Canada on the llth May.

The assurances of loyalty and devotion addressed to us on that occasion
will always be an encouragement to The Queen and myself in the performance
of our high task.

We were glad to know that the Speakers of your two Houses were present
at the solemn ceremony of our Coronation. The participation in that ceremony
of representatives from our oversea Dominions fittingly marked the position of
the Crown as symbolising the unity and free association of the peoples of the
British Commonwealth.

Throughout our reign it will be our constant aim to cherish and maintain,
to the best of our powers, the heritage of justice, civil liberty, and ordered
freedom which we have received from those who in past generations helped
to build up this association of nations; and we rejoice to know that in our
endeavours to promote, under Divine guidance, the welfare and happiness of
our Peoples, we shall be supported by the prayers and affection of the people of
Canada.

GEORGE R.I.
29th June, 1937.

The Honourable the Speaker presented to the Senate the Report of the
Joint Librarians, for the year 1937.

The same was then read by the Clerk, as follows:

A.D. 1938 27TH JANUARY

LIBRARY OF PARLIAMENT

Report of the Librarians for 1937
To the Honourable the Speaker of the Senate:

The Joint Librarians of Parliament have the honour to submit their Report
on the Library for 1937.

The preparation of the Supplementary Catalogue of books donated and
purchased during the past year is well advanced and printed copies will be in
the hands of Senators and Members shortly.

The superannuation of Mr. M. C. MacCormac, who had been in the Library
for more than fifty years, led to some promotions of members of the staff and
created a vacancy in the position of Registry and Shelving Clerk. After com
petitive examinations, the Civil Service Commission appointed Mr. Robert Morris
Hamilton to the vacant position. Mr. Hamilton is a B.A. of McGill University
and Bachelor of Library Science of McGill. He also held a Carnegie Fellowship
at Columbia University in 1936-7.

The Index volume of the completed twenty volumes of the Dictionary of
American Biography was received last November; and the Index to the very
valuable set of the Private Papers of James Boswell (Isham Collection) has
also been received. The last, and sixth, volume of the Encyclopaedia of Canada,
edited by W. Stewart Wallace, has now been shelved. Many new works on
economics, international affairs, history, and so on, have been added to the
Library. The one-volume edition of Audubon s " Birds of America " was recently
purchased. It contains 500 Plates. Though reduced in size, the pictures of the
birds are coloured, as nearly as possible, like those in Audubon s rare and
valuable Elephant Folio edition, of which the Library is fortunate enough to
possess a copy.

Amongst interesting donations to the Library during 1937 are the following:

"Art in Federal Buildings." This finely-illustrated volume was privately
printed, though related to the United States Treasury Department s "Art Pro
gram," which has been in operation for two years. The Library is indebted to
sponsors of the book, and to the Canadian Legation at Washington, through whom
it was received.

Another volume of the beautifully illustrated set of the Catalogue of Mr.
F. J. Nettlefold s art collection has been donated this year. Also a further
volume (No. 12) of the Letters of Sir Walter Scott has been received from an
unknown donor.

In spite of numerous readjustments, referred to in former Reports, there is
still some congestion in the Library, though the Librarians and staff are doing
everything possible to make things convenient to users of the Library.

Respectfully submitted,

MARTIN BURRELL,

FELIX DESROCHERS,

Joint Librarians.

Ordered, That the same do lie on the Table.

With leave of the Senate, and
On motion, it was

Ordered, That when the Senate adjourns to-day, it do stand adjourned
until Tuesday, next, at eight o clock in the evening.

The Senate adjourned.

266 THE SENATE 2 GEORGE VI

PRAYERS.

The Honourable Senator McRae moved, that it be

Resolved, That the public interest demands the discouragement or refusal
by parliament of further applications to it, by way of private Bills for divorces
to be enacted on behalf of persons to whom other recourse is made available;

The Senate, therefore, should divest itself of all such special obligations
incidental to private Bills of divorce as, in the past, it has assumed, and in
furtherance of such purpose and make possible its achievement in consonance
with the first paragraph of this resolution, the Senate should promote and sup
port legislation so providing.

After debate, and

The question being put on the said motion, it was

Passed in the negative.

The Honourable Senator Black, from the Standing Committee on Banking
and Commerce, to whom was referred the Bill (9), intituled: "An Act to amend
the Canada Shipping Act, 1934," reported that they had gone through the said
Bill, and had directed him to report the same to the Senate, without any
amendment.

With leave of the Senate,

The said Bill was then read the third time.

The question was put whether this Bill shall pass.

It was resolved in the affirmative.

Ordered, That a Message be sent to the House of Commons to acquaint
that House that the Senate have passed this Bill, without any amendment.

The Honourable Senator Black, from the Standing Committee on Banking
and Commerce, to whom was referred the Bill (123), intituled: "An Act to
amend The Excise Act, 1934," reported that they had gone through the said Bill,
and had directed him to report the same to the Senate with several amendments,
which he was ready to submit whenever the Senate would be pleased to receive
the same.

The said amendments were then read by the Clerk, as follows:

Page 2, line 16. For " penalty " substitute " fine ".

Page 6, lines 17 to 20, both inclusive. For Clause 17, substitute the
following:

" 17. Subsection one of section one hundred and seventy-two of the said
Act is repealed and the following is substituted therefor:

172. (1) A licence to carry on the trade or business of a brewer may be
granted to any person who has complied with the provisions of this Act, if the
granting of such licence has been approved by the district inspector, and such
person has, jointly with a guarantee company, approved by the Minister, entered
into a bond to His Majesty, in such sum as the Minister may determine but in
no case shall such sum be less than five thousand dollars. "

Page 10, line 4. For " allows " substitute " suffers ".

The said amendments were concurred in, and

Ordered, That the said Bill, as amended, be placed on the Orders of the Day
for a third reading at the next sitting of the Senate.

The Honourable Senator Black, from the Standing Committee on Banking
and Commerce, to whom was referred the Message from the House of Commons
disagreeing to the amendment made by the Senate to the Bill (13), intituled:
"An Act to amend the Lord s Day Act," presented the following Report:

A.D. 1938 9ra JUNE 267

The same was then read by the Clerk, as follows:

WEDNESDAY, 8th June, 1938.

The Standing Committee on Banking and Commerce to whom was referred
the Message from the House of Commons disagreeing to the amendment made by
the Senate to the Bill No. (13), intituled: "An Act to amend the Lord s Day Act,"
have in obedience to the order of reference of the 12th May, 1938, considered the
said Message and now beg leave to report, as follows:

The Committee recommends that the Senate do insist on its amendment for
the following reasons:

1. The corporation being the person guilty of the offence and the only one
to be possibly benefited by the offence is the only person which should be
penalized. To penalize officers, directors or employees is unjust and is especially
unjust in the case of officers or employees whose position may depend on obedience
to company policy.

2. The amendment does provide an increase in the minimum penalty in
the case of a third or subsequent offence. There are many very small companies,
such for example, as small canneries, in respect of whom a fine necessarily
greater than fifty dollars might be unduly severe and result in reluctance to
convict.

3 There can be no reason why the imposition of fines if appropriately heavy
should have less effect in the case of offenses against the Lord s Day Act
in the case of offenses against any other Act.
All which is respectfully submitted.

F. B. BLACK,

Chairman.

Ordered, That during the coming recess of Parliament the Parliamentary
Counsel of the Senate be authorized and commissioned as follows:

that precise central or general union which was presented to and accepted by
the three original provinces of Canada; and

2. To compare the text of Part VI of the British North America Act, 1867,
headed " Distribution of Legislative Powers " with (a) such pre-confederation
records and (b) such pronouncements of the Judicial Committee of the Privy
Council as define or disclose the legislative powers of the Parliament of Canada
at the present time; and

3. To report to His Honour the Speaker for the information of the Senate

(a) Any material differences between the scheme of distribution of legis
lative powers between Dominion and provinces as apparently intended
at the time of confederation and the like legislative powers as expressed
by the text of Part VI of the British North America Act, 1867; also any
material differences between either such pre-confederation scheme of
distribution or such text and such pronouncements of such Judicial
Committee as define or disclose as aforesaid with relation to Dominion
legislative powers as of the present time; and

(b) In what respects, if at all, it would be necessary to cause the British
North America Act to be amended so as to produce consonance (so far

intent of the provinces which originally constituted this Dominion. Also,
in what respects, if at all, it is necessary to cause that Act to be

A.D. 1938 30TH JUNE 375

The Right Honourable Senator Graham, from the Special Committee
appointed to inquire into and report upon the best means of relieving the
country from its extremely serious railway condition and financial burden con
sequent thereto, presented the following Report.

The same was then read by the Clerk, as follows:

Thursday, 30th June, 1938.

The Special Committee of the Senate appointed to inquire into and report
upon the best means of relieving the country from its extremely serious railway
condition and financial burden consequent thereto, begs leave to report, as
follows:

1. The Committee has held 43 sessions, has examined 31 of the principal
officers of the two railway systems, and has had lodged with it no less than
97 exhibits, many of them voluminous in content and technical in character
and detail. The Committee has also heard evidence in extensive detail from
representatives of the Dominion Joint Legislative Committee of the Railway
Transportation Brotherhoods, with which was associated the Trades and
Labour Congress of Canada, also from the Canadian Brotherhood of Railway
Employees. The recorded proceedings of the Committee cover 1284 printed
pages.

2. The evidence before the Committee was not completed until very
shortly before Prorogation and consequently the Committee has been unable,
through lack of time, to analyse the vast mass of material before it in such
manner as to enable it to present a report either satisfactory to itself or
valuable to the public. The proceedings before the Committee and the publicity
given thereto must have contributed greatly to the information of all interested
and should be of inestimable value in the further consideration of the problem
by the government and people of this country.

3. Having regard to the desirability of completing the inquiry, and to
the preservation of the value of the examination already made, and the
preparation of an adequate report thereon, the Committee recommends that
it be re-appointed early in the next session of Parliament. The intention is
that a thorough review shall be made of all evidence and other material already
at the disposal of the Committee, and a report thereon presented to Parliament.

4. The Committee may deem it advisable, when later convened, to obtain
further data bearing upon the general problem and its possible solution.

5. In the meantime, the Committee would request the two railway com
panies to renew and speed up their efforts to effect by co-operation reduc
tions of operating expenditures by every means at their command, and within
the authority of the present law.

6 In conclusion, the Committee desires to express its appreciation of the
services of Colonel 0. M. Biggar, K.C., the Committee s Counsel, whose assist
ance in facilitating the work of the Committee was invaluable,
of joint secretaries and reporters have also been of the highest character.

" In the name of the Commons, I present to Your Honour the following

" To which Bill I humbly request Your Honour s assent."
After the Clerk had read the title of this Bill.

To this Bill the Royal Assent was pronounced by the Clerk of the Senate
in the following words:

" In His Majesty s name, the Honourable the Deputy Governor General
thanks His Loyal Subjects, accepts their benevolence, and assents to this Bill."

After which the Honourable the Deputy Governor General was pleased to
close the Third Session of the Eighteenth Parliament of the Dominion of Canada,
with the following Speech:

Honourable Members of the Senate:

Members of the House of Commons:

In bringing the present session to a close, I desire to express my appreciation
of the careful attention given the many measures submitted for your consideration.

International relations and domestic conditions continue to be affected by
conflict, disorders and tensions in different parts of the world. The disturbed
situation abroad, and prolonged and unprecedented drought in Western Canada,
have, unfortunately, somewhat retarded recovery. Improvement in economic
conditions has, however, been more steadily maintained in Canada than in many
other countries. Gratifying factors in the situation are the further diminution
in the numbers on relief, and the progressive and substantial reductions in the
deficits in the national accounts. The outlook for agriculture in the West is
more hopeful than it has been for some years.

An outstanding feature of the session has been the adoption of measures
constituting a long-range nation-wide program of conservation and development,
designed to stimulate employment and enlarge the national income. They
include a comprehensive housing scheme, under which special assistance will
be afforded in the construction of houses to be owned by families of limited means,
and of housing accommodation in urban centres to be leased at less than
economic rentals.

The Dominion has undertaken to pay a substantial proportion of municipal
real estate taxes, over a three year period, on new houses erected before the end
of 1940, and to make loans, at low interest rates, to municipalities to enable
them to undertake projects of a self-liquidating character.

The housing program has been further aided, and increased activity in the
construction industry fostered by the exemption from sales tax of materials
entering into the construction of houses and other buildings.

Under the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Act, further progress has been made,
in the development and conservation of water supplies, and the formation of
community pasture areas where lands are not suitable for cultivation.

A.D. 1938 IST JULY 381

Appropriations have been made for the continuation, on a broader scale,
of the Youth Training Program, and for its extension to include persons of
older age.

Provision has been made for the complete nationalization of the Bank of
Canada through the acquisition by the government of the ownership, in its
entirety, of the capital stock of the Bank.

The Board of Railway Commissioners for Canada has been superseded
by a Board of Transport Commissioners, with authority in respect of trans
port by air and water, as well as by rail.

The trans-Canada air service is now operating a regular air mail schedule
over a considerable area of the Dominion. It is expected that, at an early date,
a coast to coast service will be in operation.

The provisions of the Criminal Code relating to the improper driving of
motor vehicles have been made more stringent. Other important amendments
have been adopted.

The War Veterans Allowance Act has been amended to provide for veterans
who, although not totally incapacitated, are incapable of maintaining themselves,
and for those who served in South Africa and were domiciled in Canada at
the time of their enlistment.

The registration of shop cards has been authorized, a measure which has
been advocated for many years by labour unions in Canada.

The Special Committee of the House of Commons on Elections and Fran
chise Acts has given careful study to the means employed to effect redistribution
in Canada and other countries, and to proposals with respect to poiltical expendi
tures. A new Dominion Elections Act has been enacted.

Considerable progress has been made in the negotiations which, for several
months past, have been carried on with the Government of the United States,
with a view to revising and extending the Trade Agreement concluded in 1935.
It is hoped the negotiations will result in a comprehensive Agreement, which
will facilitate the further development of trade between the two countries.

Members of the House of Commons:

I thank you for the provision you have made for the public service.

Honourable Members of the Senate:

Members of the House of Commons:

In taking leave of you at this time, I pray that the blessing of Divine
Providence may rest upon your labours.

The Honourable the Speaker of the Senate then said:

Honourable Members of the Senate:

Members of the House of Commons:

It is the Honourable the Deputy Governor General s will and pleasure that
this Parliament be prorogued until Wednesday, the tenth day of August, next,
to be here holden, and this Parliament is accordingly prorogued until Wednes
day, the tenth day of August, next.
